near the confluence of the White and
Arkansas rivers. The Quapaw
maintained a presence in the Central
Mississippi valley until their removal to
northwest Louisiana in 1824 when their
lands in the Territory of Arkansas were
ceded to the United States. Oral history
evidence presented by representatives of
The Quapaw Tribe of Indians indicates
that the St. Francis River Valley region,
which includes Cross and St. Francis
Counties, has long been included in the
traditional and hunting territory of the
Quapaw. French colonial records (A.D.
1700) also indicate that the Quapaw
were known to be the only Native
American group present at that time in
eastern Arkansas.
Determinations Made by Indiana
University
Officials of the Glenn A. Black
Laboratory of Archaeology at Indiana
University have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 32
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 183 objects described in this notice
are reasonably believed to have been
placed with or near individual human
remains at the time of death or later as
part of the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and The Quapaw Tribe of
Indians.

SUMMARY:
Notice is
here given in accordance with the
Native American Graves Protection and
Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains under the control of
the Illinois State Museum, Springfield,

from the Wickliffe Mounds site in
Ballard County, KY.
This notice is published as part of the

U.S.C. 3003(d)(3) and 43 CFR 10.11(d).

the sole responsibility of the museum,
institution, or Federal agency that has
control of the Native American human
remains. The National Park Service is
not responsible for the determinations
in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains was made by the Illinois State
Museum professional staff in
consultation with representatives of the
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and
The Chickasaw Nation.
History and Description of the Remains
On an unknown date, human remains
representing, at minimum, two
individuals were removed by unknown
parties from unknown locations at the
Wickliffe Mounds site (15BA4) in
Ballard County, KY. In 1956, the
University of Chicago transferred the
human remains to the Illinois State
Museum (ISM 1956–8) along with
collections of animal bone, freshwater
mussel shell, and ceramic and lithic
artifacts from the same site. The human
remains include cranial and postcranial
elements of one young adult (ISM
NAGPRA 722) and postcranial elements
of one infant (ISM NAGPRA 5547). No
known individuals were identified. No
associated funerary objects are present.
Determinations Made by the Illinois
State Museum
Officials of the Illinois State Museum
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
are Native American based on their
presumed association with prehistoric
Native American occupations at the
Wickliffe Mounds site.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of two
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), a
relationship of shared group identity
cannot be reasonably traced between the
Native American human remains and
any present-day Indian tribe due, in
part, to the lack of specific information
regarding the original provenience and
removal of materials from the Wickliffe
Mounds site.
• The 1818 Treaty of Old Town,
Mississippi, indicates that the land from
which the Native American human
remains were removed is the aboriginal
land of The Chickasaw Nation. The
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians also
has aboriginal land in western
Kentucky, but not in Ballard County.

• Pursuant to 43 CFR 10.11(c)(1), the
disposition of the human remains may
be to The Chickasaw Nation.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Representatives of any Indian tribe or
Native Hawaiian organization not
identified in this notice that wish to
request transfer of control of these
human remains should submit a written
request with information in support of
the request to Dr. Robert E. Warren,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is
here given in accordance with the

Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), 25 U.S.C.
3003, of the completion of an inventory
of human remains and associated
funerary objects under the control of the

human remains and associated funerary
objects were removed from the vicinity
of Point Barrow, North Slope Borough,
AK.
This notice is published as part of the

American human remains. The National
Park Service is not responsible for the
determinations in this notice.
Consultation
A detailed assessment of the human
remains and associated funerary objects
was made by Indiana University
professional staff in consultation with
representatives of the Native Village of
Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government
and the Inupiat Community of the
Arctic Slope.
History and Description of the Remains
Between 1921 and 1936, human
remains representing, at minimum, 8
individuals were recovered from an
unknown location near Point Barrow,
AK. These human remains were
collected by Mollie Ward Greist, a
native of Indiana who lived in Barrow,
AK, from 1921–1936. The human
remains were transferred to the Indiana
University Glenn A. Black Laboratory of
Archaeology in 1956, to the Mathers
Museum of World Cultures in 1972, and
then to the Department of Anthropology
in 1990. The 1 associated funerary
object is a fragment of oil soaked wood.
No known individuals were identified.
Catalog information indicates the
affiliation of the remains to be ‘‘Inuit’’
or ‘‘Eskimo.’’
PO 00000
Frm 00062
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The human remains were found in an
area traditionally used by the Inupiat
people. Accounts of Inupiat burials
indicate that the human remains were
placed into very shallow graves or were
surface burials. Inupiat mortuary
treatments also involved deceased
individuals being wrapped in skins or
furs and taken to a cemetery where they
were placed on wood planks. Mollie
Greist reported seeing hundreds of
Native American skeletons lying on the
ground near Point Barrow. A
relationship of shared group identity
can be reasonably traced between the
human remains and the Native Village
of Barrow Inupiat Government and the
Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope
based on traditional geography,
archeological evidence, historical
accounts, and on-going cultural
traditions.
Determinations Made by Indiana
University
Officials of the Department of
Anthropology at Indiana University
have determined that:
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(9), the
human remains described in this notice
represent the physical remains of 8
individuals of Native American
ancestry.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(3)(A),
the 1 object described in this notice is
reasonably believed to have been placed
with or near individual human remains
at the time of death or later as part of
the death rite or ceremony.
• Pursuant to 25 U.S.C. 3001(2), there
is a relationship of shared group
identity that can be reasonably traced
between the Native American human
remains and the Native Village of
Barrow Inupiat Government and the
Inupiat Community of the Arctic Slope.
Additional Requestors and Disposition
Lineal descendants or representatives
of any Indian tribe or Native Hawaiian
organization not identified in this notice
that wish to request transfer of control
of these human remains should submit
